i think ur the one that could be on the drugs after that. saying no to buddy for pick 2 is deluded. he will be one of the all-time greats of the game. 113 goals last season and is playing with an injury this season yet still doing okay.

Freak, it's simply not going to happen.

Better to wait until he hits his third strike, gets suspended for a year, delisted by Hawthorn, and we can collect him in the PSD. ;)

Yeah, tez. You just ruined are chances of finalising this hypothetical trade.

Don't be a fool.

Haawthorn is not going to go for that trade.

Some of you live in the land of make-believe, in a gumdrop house on Lollypop Lane...

I would take him quicker than you can say his name.

Do you like any players in the AFL at all? or do you just put a negative spin everything?

somebody shut down this post, it makes this forum look very ordinary

So you just compound the rumour. Nice

A rumour from some extremely reputable sources.

I wouldn't take the risk. 1 more chance? No thanks.

It looks like the regular losses are really starting to take a mental toll on some supporters.

Hang in there champ, things will turn around!

I have to say... If this was put on the table I would say yes.

Melbourne need a marketable player.

Melbourne need a strong marking forward.

No good though if he's gonna be a marketable player like Ben Cousins at WC

I can see it now... "E-mons"


Another shocking post.

alot better than your crap

Rumor is fact he has a constant minder to make sure he does not stuff up every time he goes out

I would be all for it, absolutely. We'd be crazy not to! If they agreed to a straight swap of pick 2 for him, why wouldn't we take it? Because of "rumoured drug issues"? Pfffft! They would be crazy to not expect more than just pick 2, as is suggested here, and we'd be crazy not to take that deal.

Buddy is an out-and-out gun, and despite his poor(er) form this year, has his best footy ahead of him. It's a scary thought really. A KPF who's guaranteed to kick 70+ goals in his "bad" years, who has already won a Coleman and kicked 100 in a season, is a premiership player, and is still only in his early 20's. He is EXACTLY what we need. And from a marketing perspective, Buddy is just about the most well recognised player in the league right now. Could potentialy add thousands of new young members.

There is absolutely no way they would consider trading him at all. But if, in this fantasy internet world of hypotheticals, they were willing to entertain a trade, it would have to be pick 2, plus a considerable sweetener of some sort.

The Hawks seem to have very little depth in their defensive key tall stocks, where as, believe it or not, we actually have a surplus in that department. You'd think Hawks would want at least pick 2 AND one of our young key backs, plus perhaps an upgrade of a later pick, for Buddy.

So for instance:

Pick 2 + young key defender + our 3rd round pick, for Buddy + their 3rd round pick

I would make the initial offer:

Jared Rivers + Pick 2 + Pick 33, for Lance Franklin + Pick 41 .

See if they have a nibble at that, and work from there.

Rivers works well in the trade because he is a proven player, still under 25, has won a Rising Star award, and despite being injury prone, is well respected in football and has a built a reputation as a courageous and talented defender. They know what they're getting with Rivers, who despite popular opinion on these boards, still has his best footy ahead of him.

More realistically, they would likely target Frawley, or even Garland (despite missing a whole year). Stefan Martin could be a smokey, because of his huge upside, but that's more wishful thinking on my behalf than anything. I'd be shattered if we ended up trading Garland or Frawley (as they have superstar written all over them), and very disappointed if it were Rivers or Martin. But if it meant getting a proven, marquee player in his early 20's, that fits our specific need for a key forward, i think i'd be able to cope.

Would you entertain such a trade??

 

You have to consider that Hawthorn would only look to trade him if either pick 2 was likely to get a player better than Buddy, or there was a likelihood that he would cease to be an effective player... for example, possibly being on the verge of getting a 3rd strike and looking like it would happen.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
